PANCHAKARMA

     Panchakarma is a centuries old cleansing and rejuvenation program designed to bring the body, mind and consciousness back to its natural state of health, happiness, and inner peace.

     Published research has shown that Panchakarma is so effective at getting rid of toxins that it can eliminate large quantities of fat soluble toxins, such as from the Gulf War Syndrome. Very few programs are available that can rid the body of these kinds of toxins.

     The Panchkarma treatment program goes one step further as it is tailored to the individual's specific needs based on our energy analysis. In general, the overall aim is to reverse the negative effects of daily living by cleansing your body of toxins thus bringing your body back into balance. The actual process is deceptively simple. Don't be fooled. The effects are profound and life changing.

6 Ways in which Panchakarma benefits you!

  1. Eliminates toxins and toxic conditions from your body and mind.

  2. Restores your constitutional balance thus improving your overall health and wellness.

  3. Strengthens your immune system so that you become more resistant to illness.

  4. Reverses the negative effects of stress on your body and mind thereby slowing the aging process.

  5. Enhances your self-reliance, strength, energy, vitality and mental clarity.

  6. Brings about deep relaxation to give you a sense of well-being.

     The program begins a few days before the actual treatment with a special fat free diet featuring fresh fruits and vegetables. This diet along with some other recommendations lays the groundwork for the cleansing and restoration Panchakarma promises. In general, the treatment lasts for 7 days, though we also offer a 3-day and a 5-day program.

     A "typical" day will begin with an ABHYANGA (a two-person synchronized oil massage), followed by SHIRODHARA (pouring of warm oil on the forehead), a SWEDANA (individually tailored hearbalized heat therapy), and ends with a BASTI (a warm oil enema infused with special herbs).
